Default Happy Anniversary to us
18 years ago today...I think it was a Monday...my husband and I had been "dating" for about six weeks. We were on our way home from dropping off my granddaughter, talking about possible plans for the day, and one of us (neither remembers who) said, "We could always get married."

So we swung by the Town Clerk's office for a license, called Pastor to see if he was free, called his sister, my son and daughter. Told my daughter we were getting married, she said, "When?" I said. "7:00." She said, "WHAT? Don't you want to wait a little longer?" I said, "Okay, 7:30."

The ceremony lasted about 7 minutes. We could have done it in 5, but my granddaughter, who was 4, wanted to be the flower girl. I figured I'd had a wedding once; this time I wanted a marriage. (My husband would have phoned it in, given the choice.) We had 6 guests, plus my son, my daughter and her husband, and my little granddaughter.

We are celebrating by having snacks and watching the news, surrounded by cats. Like we celebrate every night. Life is good.

Happy Anniversary! Sounds like a perfect celebration. Staying home and being comfortable. I hope you two have many more happy anniversaries.

Congratulations. I was just reading that the average wedding costs something like $35,000!!!!!!!! What in the world are they going to have for the marriage if they spend that much on the wedding. I must admit I spent more than you did but still it was one attendant apiece and cake, nuts and punch. It's been 39 years.

I think we spent $60 for my ring, and gave Pastor $60.

It just goes to show that it doesn't matter how much you spend on a wedding that makes a marriage last.

My dress was white, but only cost $42.00. An expensive white gown and day do not a marriage make. It's just 1 day. 34 years for us this summer. Happy Anniversary. Sounds like you're doing it right.
